I think as a rule of thumb its 5 mins for every four weeks. Therefore at 12 weeks its 15 mins. However, Cockapoos are small and energetic, be guided by Alfie. If he starts to lag behind, or slows down, he's definitely tired.

Enjoy talking him out. Are you going to let him off the lead straight away? I did, it was the best advice I ever had.

Hi everybody

Thanks for the replies Well we went to our first puppy training class this morning and actually he was very good on the recall - as good as the other dogs who have been going for a few months and definitely better than the other new puppies so we are feeling more confident. We may take him out later and try again - the trainer said the same as you guys - the earlier we do it the better.

Only problem is he did roll in fox poo He stinks.

Oh fox poo - My Millie is a fan of that stuff too

I found this thread for you, it goes into quite good detail about walking off lead.
Hope you find it useful.
